list installed packages sorting by install date and by size

How can I get pacman to list all installed packages sorted by installation date? Another query I would like to run is to sort them by installed size. Thank you for suggestions.

Try expac(1) and the shell.

+1 for expac, see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman/Tips_and_tricks

expac -H M '%m\t%n' | sort -h -r | less
expac --timefmt='%Y-%m-%d %T' '%l\t%n' | sort | less
